Product Launch Workflow

Product Launch Prompt Workflow

A sequential prompt workflow for product launches: problem definition through MVP scope, risk register, milestone roadmap, launch checklist, and post-launch review.

Overview

Launches attempted in one prompt produce launch-shaped documents — plausible plans with no scope discipline, no risk register, and no rollback condition. The workflow version runs launch work the way product teams do: the problem gets stated before the solution, requirements get acceptance criteria, the MVP gets a cut list with reasoning, risks get early-warning signals, and the launch checklist includes the condition under which you roll back. This resource loads the full advanced launch sequence.

Workflow

  1. Build the loaded workflow

    Advanced complexity loads all ten phases, including the risk register and post-launch review.

  2. Hold the no-solution line

    Step 1 bans solution language deliberately — solutions stated as problems are how scope creep starts.

  3. Defend the cut list

    The MVP step forces explicit cuts with reasoning. The cut list is the scope discipline.

  4. Set the rollback before launch

    The launch checklist includes the rollback condition — decided now, while heads are cool.

Why This Works

  • Problem-before-solution ordering keeps the launch tied to a user reality
  • Explicit cut lists make scope decisions reviewable instead of silent
  • Go/no-go checkpoints and rollback conditions are what separate plans from hopes

Best for

  • Product teams without a standardized launch process
  • Founders running their first structured launch
  • Feature launches to existing customers where trust is at stake

Not for

  • Designing the product requirements assistant itself — that's the System Prompt Generator
  • A single launch announcement email — one prompt suffices

Use cases

  • Planning a feature or product launch as a checkable sequence
  • Producing an MVP scope with an explicit, defensible cut list
  • Building the risk register and rollback condition launches usually skip
